Why people who get rich are never the cheapest in the room

Hey zxcv, it’s Mark.

With everything becoming so expensive now, you might think that the only way to get rich in 2026 is to track every single penny and become the cheapest person in the room.

Well, believe it or not, the people who are getting rich today are actually doing the opposite…

They’re never the cheapest people in the room.

The people getting rich today started exactly where you are now but made a few changes to how they spend their money.

Here’s three you can start copying today:

​

1) Your investments should always eat before you do

Of course, your essential living costs always come first, like food and bills.

But after that, the people who are getting rich always feed their investments before spending any money on themselves.

It doesn’t have to be on traditional investments either…

The beauty of thinking this way is that it works no matter where you are on your financial journey.

It could mean putting some money aside for an emergency fund, paying off high-interest debt, or funding your side hustle.

I’m not saying they don’t spend any money on themselves either.

After they’ve invested some of their money, they spend what’s left on whatever they like, and they never have to worry about spending too much or forgetting to invest!

​

2) Don’t buy the cheapest option all the time.

Spending less, of course, is a good idea.

Especially when you’re spending too much on takeaway food or shopping around for the best groceries.

However, always buying the cheapest option can actually be a mistake.

This is one of the biggest differences I see between those who are becoming rich today and those who will stay broke by penny-pinching.

The people getting wealthy today know that if you don’t spend money on good quality products, it could actually end up costing them more in the long run.

​

3) Invest in people the way you wish someone had invested in you.

How many times do you wish someone had invested or taken that chance on you?

We all know that feeling, so I remember fondly when my mentor first invested his time and energy in me.

That’s why I believe it’s almost an obligation for people who are on the come up to share their knowledge with everyone else.

After all, that’s why I decided to start running online training sessions completely for free.

My next live workshop is on the 15th July. (on Zoom)

I’ll be showing you how to build a one-person AI powered business that can make you $10,000 a month consistently.

Change happens when you show up live, and I’ll be there guiding you every step of the way.

Of course as my live workshops are completely free, spots fill up fast.

​Click here to grab your free ticket (if there are still spots left).

Hopefully, I’ll see you there!
